---++ Hybridizer Wentworth Caldwell Nashville, Tennessee, USA _Mrs. Thomas Nesmith, Fairmount Gardens Catalog, Lowell, Massachusetts, Summer 1942-Spring 1943._ Mr. Wentworth Caldwell of Nashville, Tenn. is one of the younger generation of iris enthusiasts for which that city is justly famous. He is a delightful southern gentleman and is all too modest about his hobby of breeding iris. I have watched his seedlings with great interest for several years, and last season chose his lovely iris [[TbPthruT.TbTishomingo]['Tishomingo']] as being most worthy of introduction. It is a large clear light Wistaria blue self of very flaring form and the strongest smooth substance I have ever seen in an iris bloom. Registrations/Introductions: *Tall Bearded:* [[TbAthruE.TbChavanon]['Chavanon']], [[TbAthruE.TbCotillion]['Cotillion']], [[TbPthruT.TbSequatchie]['Sequatchie']], [[TbPthruT.TbStRegis]['St. Regis']], [[TbPthruT.TbSummertime]['Summertime']], [[TbPthruT.TbTishomingo]['Tishomingo']]. -- Main.RPries - 2012-05-18
